Pictures: We will be doing studio pictures during regular class times the week of May 7 – 11th at the studio. They will be “glamour” shots. Hair does not have to be done in “competition” style. I would recommend make-up, but you don’t have to do the heavy “competition” make-up. Every student will take a picture, even if you aren’t ordering pictures. Megan Wintle will be doing our pictures again. We are delighted she is able to do them again. Order forms are attached to the newsletter, but we will also have some available at the studio for the day of pictures. There is one order form PER DANCER, but you can make one check out for all your dancers. Stars will also be doing an outdoor photo shoot on Wednesday, May 16th, more info in the Stars newsletter below. Please note: you will NOT be allowed to bring your own camera into the studio to take your own pictures.
Summer classes: Attached to the newsletter is the summer scheduled. Get registered today before classes fill up. We recommend taking some form of summer classes to help from losing your flexibility and technique. Also, taking summer classes would be recommended, especially if you are interested in trying out for the Stars team next season.
SOF: The remainder of your SOF money is due by May 18th
Warm-ups, t-shirts, and duffle bags: You can still order your Diva’s swag! If you would like to see what we have, come on in and I would be happy to show you…We’ve got warm-ups for your dancer AND mom’s (great way to travel to and from competitions); t-shirts for all ages, dancers and the siblings of dancers to show support; cute v-neck tees or regular tees for moms; and even MEN’s tees so dad’s can show support too!! Come check them out! J Tees start at just $10 and go from there, warm-ups are $65 for the set, duffle bags are a great way to keep all your dancers stuff together and are just $40. We also have hanging costume bags for $35. These are great to have for competitions!! Get your early to make sure we have the sizes you need. We have a few gently used items that are for sale at a lower price than new. If you are interested in these items, let me know. Also, if you have gently used items you would like to re-sale, let me know.

If you have any questions, please call, email or text me. Thanks!
